There's a major difference between the Xbox 360 version a Street Fighter X Tekken 'n it be PS3 twin, it turns out. According t' the manual included with both versions, the game's tag team modes allow ye 'n a local matey t' sign on t' the same console 'n fight against two other people online; yer buddy presses start at the character select screen 'n off ye go. In actuality, this functionality only exists in the PS3 version a the game.

The issue has been acknowledged by Christian Svensson at Capcom, who stated that Capcom has no plans t' patch the feature in, 'n that it be inclusion in the manual be a mistake. "The reason for this difference be because a the architecture differences between [Xbox Live] gamertags 'n PSN IDs. I be not sure a the technical details, but basically it amounts t': Sony made it so ye can mix 'n match online 'n offline, 'n Microsoft made it so ye can't."

That sounded like a reasonable explanation, until we remembered that the 360 version a Mortal Kombat does that exact thing, allowing two local players t' take part in tag-team battles online. If it be possible for NetherRealm Studios t' include the feature in Mortal Kombat -- the studio's very first release -- it be exclusion from Capcom's brand-new flagship fighter seems strange at the very least.
